Recently, Carbon Hill, Alabama mayor Mark Chambers called for killing gays and other minorities. A real shocker coming from a probably self proclaimed pious christian and elected official from Alabama of all places.
Now this was a response to a comment that someone put on his FB page bu Mr. Chambers made the choice to respond in such a manner. First he denied he wrote the comment then said he was taken out of context, Then used the "I thought it was a private message excuse." Followed by I “never said anything about killing out gays or anything like that.” He said his comment was specifically referring to what would happen “in a revolution.” Thanks for the clarification.
Of course other pious types came to his defense, including Reverend Colbert of the city council who called Chambers "a good man." I'm sure the men who fired bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church were pillars of their community. It's not like they were terrorists or anything (wait, they were).
Does Mr. Chambers have a right to say these things? He sure does but that also means you have to deal with the consequences. Chambers should step down as mayor so they can get another racist jerk in there but I doubt Chambers will do the right thing and go away. These pious christian types always find a away to get themselves up on the cross in some hope for martyrdom. Just like Iowa's favorite racist politician Steve King.
Apparently, Carbon Hill has produced previous gems as mayor.
